Sunday, June 14 wraps the weekend at Rate Field, with first pitch set for 1:10 PM CT. LA brings a 44-25 mark to the South Side; Chicago counters at 36-31, which is not a typo. The White Sox have ripped off a 3-game stretch where they beat Atlanta twice and pushed a third into a scoreless tie. The pitching picture has been the story of this series for the Dodgers. Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell are both still parked on the 60-day IL, Gavin Stone can't ramp up without shoulder soreness, and now Justin Wrobleski is dealing with a hamstring. Dave Roberts said Wrobleski should still make his next start, but the staff has zero margin for another body going down. Roki Sasaki has been the stabilizer here — a 2.56 ERA over his last 6 starts going back to early May, per DodgersBeat's series preview. Shohei Ohtani is the other shoe everyone's watching. He came out of Wednesday's 8-6 win at Pittsburgh in the 7th with left knee inflammation, possibly tweaked trying to swipe a bag. Roberts told reporters his concern level is "not high" and that Ohtani has a strong chance to be in the Friday lineup against Chicago. By Sunday he should be locked in, but with Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) and Will Smith (neck) both on the IL, LA cannot afford the DH to be tentative at the plate or on the bases. Chicago's vibe is the actual surprise. Will Venable's group is 5 games over .500, took 2 of 3 from the Phillies on the road last weekend, and just beat Atlanta in back-to-back tight games before Wednesday's wild 0-0 tie. They're banged up too — Murakami (hamstring) is still working back from a PRP injection, Kyle Teel and Austin Hays remain on the 60-day — but the bullpen has been the engine, even with Jordan Hicks (lat) only just starting a rehab assignment in Charlotte. What to watch: how the Dodgers' makeshift back end of the rotation handles a Sox lineup that has gotten comfortable playing low-scoring games. Three of Chicago's last 5 results have been decided by 1 run or less. If LA's bats don't bury an early lead, this is the exact spot where a depleted contender lets a series finale slip. The Sox have made a habit of it on this homestand.
